Chapter 336: The Devil Enters the Mountain
When they saw that the Japanese devils who had just shot at them were engulfed in flames and let out a piercing scream, the Koreans who had escaped the catastrophe ran away one after another, stepping on the corpses of their companions and even their relatives and running forward.

Gao Chu did not shout to stop, the shelling of the 1st and 2nd tank companies continued, and more than a thousand devils were soon covered and engulfed by the fire.
The screams of the devils were endless, resounding all over the world.
"Shizuo, a large number of Koreans have run over." The hurried voice of the commander of the tank regiment sounded over the intercom: "What should we do?" ”
Gao Chu looked at them who dragged the old and the young, and finally couldn't bear it, pigs, pigs, islands, and small said: "Forget it, the little devil is a beast, we are not, the first few times we were forced to shoot helplessly, and now the devil is suppressed by our artillery fire, and it is impossible to rush over for the time being!"
The companies retreated for the time being, and let these Koreans go! ”
"Yes" The commander of the tank regiment obviously has a clear conscience, and he can't bear to kill these innocent people too much, even if they are Koreans, but the slaughter of unarmed people, if it is not forced by helplessness, as long as it is a person with a little conscience, it is impossible to do it.
After all, not all peoples are as cruel, bloodthirsty and shameless as the Japanese.
Soon, the officers and men of the tank regiment stopped the shelling and retreated one after another, making way for the desperate Goryeo to survive.
The Koreans had already run not far in front of them, and at first when they saw the behemoths blocking the road in front of them, the eyes of all of them were full of despair.
But what they never expected was that these tanks would retreat on their own initiative.
A few bold Koreans tried to trot forward two steps, and when it was safe to do so, all the Koreans rushed south along the official road like crazy.

Inside the city, the Provisional Headquarters of the 9th Division.
A devil soldier ran in with a black face on his face, and before he could salute, he reported to Watanabe Murai: "Your Excellency, division commander, it's not good, the escort unit has been discovered by the Shina army." Under their shelling, less than 200 of the more than 1,000 Imperial Army warriors survived, and all the others were burned alive, including our Wing Commander Jing Ran Daisa. ”
"What about the more than 2,000 Koreans?" Watanabe asked as the corners of his mouth twitched.
"The people of China did not kill them, but let them go." The devil soldier replied.
"Yaga Yalu!" Watanabe Murai was furious, kicked the devil soldier to the ground, and roared with red eyes.
At this moment, another Japanese soldier hurriedly ran in and saluted Watanabe Murai, who was in a rage, "Your Excellency General." Oh no, a large number of pursuers of the Shina Army were found in the north of the city, and they were chasing! ”
Watanabe Murai's saber that had just been drawn fell quietly when he heard the words, and fell to the ground with a clatter.
Watanabe Murai muttered gloomily, "It's over, it's all over......"
……………………
Panmunjom.
"Division, the Southern Route Army is calling, the tank regiment directly under the 203rd Division has arrived in the north of Kaesong and is attacking the devils!" The commander of the tank regiment walked over excitedly and reported to Gao Chu.
"Great." Gao Chu was overjoyed when he heard this. Said: "Order the troops, immediately advance to Kaesong, shell the south gate of Kaicheng, and cooperate with friendly forces to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army!" ”
"Yes!" The commander of the tank regiment made a promise. Immediately got into his car.
……………………
On the official road leading to Busan, Okamura Ninji's car was stopped again.
"Your Excellency, it's not good." This time it was Goro Sakurada, the chief of staff who got out of the car not long ago to do business.
"Sakurada-kun, what's going on?" Okamura Ninji asked, sitting firmly.
"The 9th and 19th Divisions were cut off by the Chinese Army in the Panmunjom area. There is no hope of breaking through, and now it has been besieged by the Chinese army in Kaesong! Sakurada Goro said.
"What?" Okamura Ninji was shocked when he heard this, and he couldn't believe his ears.
"What do you say? The 9th and 19th Divisions were besieged in Kaesong? ”
"Yes." Sakurada nodded silently.
Okamura Ninji was furious: "Where did this branch of the army come from? ”
Sakurada Goro looked up and said, "General." According to his speculation, this army should have been the Northern Route Army of China, which had attacked from the west coast. ”
Seeing that Okamura Ninji was short of breath and sat still, Sakurada Goro asked cautiously: "Your Excellency General, the 9th Division and the 19th Division have no hope of breaking through, what should we do?" Was it an order to withdraw the defenders of Seoul before the arrival of the Shina army? Or let them go north to rescue and meet the 9th Division? ”
Okamura Ninji was silent for a while, gritted his teeth and endured the pain: "Order them to abandon Seoul immediately and withdraw the whole army to Busan!" In addition, call the rest of the 9th and 19th Divisions, please stick to Kaejo to the end, they are His Majesty the Emperor, the bravest warriors of the Japanese Empire! ”
Sakurada Goro hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Hai! The general's day mourns, and the humble post will be arranged. ”
After saying that, Sakurada Goro ran away and turned to leave.
Okamura Ninji slammed his fist on the car door, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching violently, and the blue tendons on his forehead burst out.
At this moment, he hated Zhang Xinghan to the core, but from another angle, he had some reverence for such an opponent.
……………………
Kaecheng, with the pursuit troops of the Southern Route Army arriving one after another, the devils in Pingcheng have become turtles in the urn, and it is difficult to escape.
Gao Chu and Liu Jianguo commanded the troops to attack the north and south, because the devil's resistance was quite tenacious, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, the two agreed to stop the attack and besiege instead.
After waiting for dawn, call in air force support before attacking.
Unlike the jubilant morale of the Northeast Frontier Guards, the morale of the Japanese troops in the city has fallen to the extreme, and they are under siege, and all the devils seem to have expected their fate.
Compared with the desperation of ordinary soldiers, in the headquarters of the 9th Division, Watanabe Murai was already preparing for seppuku after reading Okamura Ninji's call.
"Your Excellency General, Your Excellency the Division Commander, we have not yet reached the last moment! Calm down! Seeing that Watanabe Murai was going to seppuku to thank the emperor, several of his subordinates persuaded him in unison.
"Not yet at the end?" Watanabe Murai laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Commander Gangcun has sent a clear telegram order, the Imperial Army of Seoul has begun to evacuate the whole army, and he ordered us to fight to the end!" What hope can we have? ”
Several devil officers lowered their heads in frustration when they heard this.
Suddenly, a devil Dazuo raised his head and said, "Your Excellency General, we still have a way to go!" ”
"What way?" Everyone including Watanabe Murai heard the words and looked at him in unison.
The devil Dazuo brought a combat map, pointed to the map, and said: "We can go into the mountains and take the mountain road, so that we can get rid of the pursuit of the armored units of the Chinese army and the air force!" ”
"Into the mountains?" Another devil officer said disapprovingly: "Sakurano-kun, there is no road on this mountain at all, there may be traps everywhere, it is a dead end, and we have no guide, how can we go out?" ”
"Aren't all roads made by people?" The devil named Sakurano Osakai saw Watanabe Murai a little moved and continued to hit the railroad while it was hot: "Your Excellency General, since Commander Okamura has decided to abandon Seoul, then it is pointless for us to hold on here, it is death to stay here, and there may be a glimmer of life in the mountains, why don't we try?" ”
Watanabe Murai put down his saber, put on his clothes, stood up and stared at the map for a long time, and suddenly patted Sakurano Osa on the shoulder seriously: "Sakurano-kun, it's good." ”
Sakurano Osa bowed his head a little flattered and said: "Despicability is just dedication to duty, everything is the wise leadership of Your Excellency General." ”
"Go and inform Your Excellency the Commander of the Jin Division immediately, and while the Zhina army is not attacking, we will take advantage of the night to enter the mountain." Watanabe Murai nodded with satisfaction and commanded.
"Hay!" Sakurano Osa and the others bowed their heads in response.
……………………
More than two hours later, the sky was bright, and Liu Jianguo just wanted to send a telegram to call the Air Force, but the officers and soldiers at the front came to report: "Division, the devils on the mountain in front of you seem to have run away!" ”
"What? Ran away? Liu Jianguo was taken aback.
"Yes, I ran." The visitor nodded.
"Kaesong has been surrounded by us in the north and south, and there are mountains on the east and west, where can they run?" Liu Jianguo was puzzled.
"It's not clear what this lowly position is." The person bowed his head and said.
"Send a telegram to Gao Chu immediately and ask about the situation on their side." Liu Jianguo immediately decided.
"Yes" After the man took the order and left, Liu Jianguo said to the guards and adjutants around him: "Let's go, let's go to the front line to have a look." ”
Panmunjom, after Gao Chu got Liu Jianguo's message, he also hurriedly led the troops to the direction of the south gate of Kaicheng again, and sure enough, he found that all the devils on the city wall were gone.
At that moment, the two of them easily entered the city of Kaesong with their own units, and successfully met in the city.
"Jianguo, how is the situation?" Gao Chu jumped out of a tank car and asked when he saw Liu Jianguo.
"The troops have just entered the city, and the infantry are searching." Liu Jianguo shook his hand with a smile and said, "There should be news soon." ”
"Damn, why is this little devil all gone all of a sudden?" Gao Chu scolded a little depressedly.
"At present, there are only two possibilities, first, the devil has a secret passage in Kaesong, and he escaped through the secret passage." Liu Jianguo did not finish his words.
Gao Chu shook his head again and again and said: "This is impossible, if the devil really has a secret passage, he ran along the secret passage a long time ago last night, why did he spend so much effort to attack me?" ”
Liu Jianguo scolded with a smile: "Don't the fuck listen to me finish speaking, you're right, the possibility of the first scenario is almost non-existent, then it should be the second possibility, the devil has entered the mountain." ”
"Into the mountains?" Gao Chu looked around when he heard this, nodded and said, "Don't say it, it's really possible." But aren't these mountains all dead ends? The little devil really dares to enter the mountain? (To be continued......)
